Firstly, for anyone wondering, forge version: 1.8-11.14.3.1521
Images and title says it all. For some reason, my Smart Item Model class is no longer rendering the proper textures, and I believe it is related to the forge update to version 1519. Attached is the class code, and the only real change is getGeneralQuads() can be changed from chase to base and it'll render the base properly. (Both have identical JSon's so I know it's not the JSON itself.)
In the images, the left is the chase and the right is the smart item.
If anyone has any idea what I can do to fix/work-around this it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
